concentration face vs the neurotoxin

Mar 23, 2013 04:06

So I got my forehead injected with Botox last week. Yep. I did. I didn't get a lot, so it's not like I'm all frozen-faced or anything. I doubt it's even noticeable to anyone who doesn't see my face on a daily basis. Actually, I'm not even sure the man would've noticed if I hadn't been checking the mirror constantly for a few days afterwards and ( Read more... )

got me thinking if that is what stroke victims must go through; something to look forward to I guess

Wait, you're not planning a stroke, are you? O_o
But yeah, I guess that probably is something stroke victims experience.

I sort of understand your dilemma, my fight was grey hair; you see I got my first one at twelve and by thirty I was almost completely grey

Twelve? Wow. My husband had a little grey patch in the back of his head since his teens, but it never spread (he's just been greying at a natural rate).

Well one day this girl said she wanted to take me out but not if I was grey, I would have to dye it

And you actually went out with her? She must've been a really hot chick.

so I did and was pleased with the result until a few weeks later when the grey roots started to come through.
After a year of this constant battle I realized I was fighting a losing war which was also costing me money all to please someone else who couldn’t accept me the way I was, both are now history.

That's it exactly. We are who we are and trying to change your appearance for someone else is failure at every level. It's just as bad to hang your own self worth on outward appearance, but I think it's impossible to be human and not do that to some extent. Hence the braces that are currently straightening my teeth and the Botox recently injected into my face :P

if you are doing this for yourself and are happy/comfortable with the results then power to you, I won’t wont judge, it’s just a pity we all seem so caught up in how we look and nobody is immune.

This is definitely just for me. My husband couldn't care less about that crease. I have no illusions that I can make myself look younger than I am, I just wanted to see what a little Botox could do for the thing I hated most (so far) about aging.
